A Bibliophile’s Dream Home

Put on a hot pot of tea, choose a very rainy day and tuck me into this English countryside stone cottage decorated seemingly entirely with books.

With the delightful dilemma of far too many books for the main house, senior decorator at Sibyl Colefax & John Fowler decided to restore an old barn on her property into a guest house that would entice any book-loving houseguest to overstay their welcome.

Complete with a secret door (yes, they do exist!), the books are shelved from floor to ceiling, runneth over in a china armoire and continue to fill the shelves in the loft. Needless to say, the world is at your fingertips; it is merely a question of where you want to escape to for the time being. Enjoy the tour.
